The Queen Geek Social Club is in full force. Becca’s ideas never seem to wane and her latest idea may be the biggest of them all.
It is prom times at Green Pines High and the student government is set to sell outrageously priced tickets to the Junior/Senior Prom. The Queen Geeks manifest the idea to have their own prom, Geek Prom! Becca not only wants to invite the students from Green Pines to the Geek Prom, but she wants people from all over the world to be invited, in a world wide cyberific Geek Prom night!
Shelby is torn once again between Fletcher and Becca and the Queen Geeks. She wants to help Becca out with the Geek Prom, but she also wants to attend the “real prom” with Fletcher.
Prom Queen Geeks is once again the same old song and dance, no pun intended. The Geek Prom was a very neat idea, but I think that Becca was doing it for all the wrong reasons. Only justifying my overall dislike for her character. Shelby did redeem herself slightly in this novel, but I wish she had stood up for herself a little bit more and not took “the easy way out.” The series did continue to get better as it went along, but I think that maybe these books just aren’t for me. It might have had something to do with the fact that I read them back to back... but I am geeked out!
